How to paint a window
Windows can highlight and accentuate your home's most interesting features. Because of this, window casings are often painted with higher sheens, which naturally draw the eyes to the glossy surface.
For Best Results:
Allow enough time for the paint to dry fully before putting windows back into use. Otherwise, they will stick together.
Tools & supplies
- Brush (Nylon/Polyester)
- Bucket
- Vinyl Gloves
- Ladder
- Paint Can Opener
- Rags
- Sandpaper (150-220 Grit)

Step-by-step process
Step 1
Begin your painting project by pouring your thoroughly mixed paint into a bucket and dipping a quality 2"-2½" wide nylon/polyester brush into the paint.
Tip:
When using more than one gallon of paint, combine the containers for better uniformity of color. This intermixing is called "boxing."
Step 2
With your brush, begin painting the inside frame of the window starting at the top of the frame.
Tip:
To avoid drips, tap off the excess paint against the inside wall of the bucket.
Step 3
Continue until the inside frame is complete. Let it dry.
Tip:
Reload the brush when necessary to maintain a wet edge
